What vision defects can be treated with an eye laser procedure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Farsightedness (hyperopia), nearsightedness (myopia) and corneal curvature (astigmatism) can be lasered without problems with different laser eye procedures. By adjusting the refractive power of the eye, clear vision and unimagined visual acuity are possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the treatment of visual defects and eye diseases (e.g. cataracts), different methods of eye laser or eye surgery are available. Which method is used depends on the severity of the visual defect and the conditions of the corneal tissue \u2013 in particular on the thickness of the cornea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SMILE\u00ae<\/sup> PRO is the latest and most modern eye laser method and represents a gentler method of eye laser. SMILE\u00ae PRO is made up of Small Incision Lenticule Extraction; the state-of-the-art VisuMax \u00ae 800 from the German company Zeiss is used for this laser procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SMILE\u00ae PRO does not create and fold away a flap in the top layer of the cornea. There is only a minimally invasive incision at the edge of the cornea, which takes about 10 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here, only the femtosecond laser is used and as little intervention as possible is made in the cornea. The surgeon removes a predetermined area in the underlying tissue (the lenticle) and removes it through the previously made incision. This also results in a rapid healing process after the procedure. The procedure is also suitable for patients with dry eyes<\/a>, severe visual defects and thin corneas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As with all other procedures, a detailed preliminary examination will determine whether this laser procedure is suitable for you in order to improve your vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The femto-LASIK<\/a> method (LASIK: laser in situ keratomileusis) has been successfully used for years to correct defective vision. In this eye laser surgery, a femtosecond laser prepares the corneal cover, also called a flap, before the actual procedure takes place. An excimer laser is then used to correct the visual impairment. With Femto-LASIK, you can have your long-sightedness lasered<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nMore about Femto Lasik<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhich is better: the LASIK or Femto-LASIK method?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The femto-LASIK method is a further development of the LASIK<\/a> method. The difference between LASIK and Femto-LASIK is that in conventional LASIK, the corneal lid (flap) is created with an ultra-sharp computer-controlled precision blade instead of a 2nd laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Femto-LASIK method, a femtosecond laser is used to produce the flap. Thus, only a thin or the uppermost layer of the cornea is separated and the procedure is safer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cornea is not damaged. In addition, the procedure is painless and less traumatic for the tissue in the procedure. This method can be used for both nearsightedness and farsightedness as well as for corneal curvature. However, there are limit values for the diopters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Short-sightedness<\/strong>: Up to – 10 diopters<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Farsightedness<\/strong>: Up to + 4 diopters<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Corneal curvature<\/strong>: – 5 diopters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

The PRESBYOND\u00aemethod is especially suitable for patients with presbyopia. It is a further development of monovision<\/a>. The loss of elasticity of the natural eye lens is the reason for the development of presbyopia. This can be effectively treated with PRESBYOND \u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order for the eyes to work better together, the dominant eye is set to farsightedness and the other to near vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The brain then assembles the stimuli harmoniously into an image. The area where farsightedness and near vision converge is called the “blend zone”. Thus, it is also possible to see clearly in this area (intermediate area).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
